Photos: Best of CM Punk

The official poster for “UFC 225: Whittaker vs. Romero 2” has dropped, and surprise surprise, CM Punk is on it.

UFC 225 takes place June 9 at United Center in Chicago and airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass. The headliner features a rematch between middleweight champion Robert Whittaker and Yoel Romero, with Colby Covington vs. Rafael dos Anjos for the interim welterweight title serving as the co-main event.

While the UFC 225 bout order hasn’t been officially set, if we’re to believe the poster, then apparently receiving third billing for the stacked card is Chicago native Phil “CM Punk” Brooks vs. Mike Jackson.

I mean, I understand why the Punk fight is featured on the poster. But, man, on a card that also features Alistair Overeem vs. Curtis Blaydes and Holly Holm vs. Megan Anderson?
